STILO ST5 KRT KARTING HELMET K2020 HOMOLOGATED

The Stilo ST5 KRT (Kart) Helmet turn heads with style that closely resembles the top of the range ST5 Zero helmet used by many professional racing athletes worldwide.

The ST5 Kart is manufactured in a lightweight and very strong composite material and is currently available in white. As with every Stilo helmet, the focus is on safety, comfort and function.

The ST5 Kart helmet’s interior has an excellent fit and comfort level due to its dual density interior foam lining. From the first use, karters will truly appreciate the level of comfort it offers. 

The ST5 Kart's symmetrical visor offers excellent vision and an effortless central visor locking system that karters will appreciate. The centrally located locking system has dual opening positions allowing adjustment for the visor to be slightly open for extra airflow as preferred by some karters in damp conditions or left completely sealed, but more importantly in both of these positions the visor is locked and will never fly open. The Stilo ST5 Kart Helmet arrives with a 3mm thick FIA F1 standard visor - adding a dramatic improvement in safety. Offered in a large range of different finishes and tints, including colored iridium options that have been added for a totally bespoke finish. In addition a double glazed option is available for racing in wet and cold conditions to prevent misting up.

EPS cheek pads provide the best in lateral crash safety, while retaining the functionality of the earmuffs to provide a comfortable aural environment for communication.  Available in gloss white exterior finish, the ST5 Kart is homologated to the Snell K 2020 standard.

 The Stilo ST5 KRT kart helmet is widely considered one of the best karting helmets, offering premium features for serious kart racers.

Why do I need a racing helmet?
Auto and kart racing helmets are essential for protecting your head in high-speed accidents. They also shield against debris and, in some motorsports, fire—making them a non-negotiable safety requirement.

How do I choose the right size Kart Racing helmet?
Use a flexible tape to measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to Bell’s sizing chart. For more help, read our blog on how to fit your helmet properly at Competition Motorsport.

What safety standards should I look for in a kart racing helmet?
Look for the Snell K2020 certification for karting. It ensures your helmet meets rigorous standards for impact protection. Unlike DOT (for street use), K2020 is designed specifically for motorsports.

Can I use a motorcycle helmet for kart racing?
No. Motorcycle helmets lack the kart-specific certifications and features like proper ventilation and impact resistance optimized for karting. Always use a helmet rated for motorsport competition.

How often should I replace my kart racing helmet?
Replace your helmet every few years depending on usage and the manufacturer's guidance. If it’s been dropped, involved in an impact, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately.

Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?

How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?
Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.

Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?
While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.

Yes. The Snell K2020 certification is the most widely accepted kart helmet standard, required by many racing series to ensure safety and performance.

Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and stronger, reducing fatigue during long races while offering excellent impact protection. They are a top choice for competitive drivers.

Can I use a used helmet for racing?
It’s not recommended. Damage or degradation may not be visible, and older helmets might not meet current safety standards. Always buy new from an authorized dealer like Competition Motorsport.

How can I prevent helmet fogging during races?
Use a visor with built-in anti-fog technology like Bell’s DSAF system, or apply an anti-fog spray or insert. Keeping your helmet well-ventilated also helps.

What's the importance of proper helmet ventilation?
Good ventilation helps manage heat and moisture inside the helmet, reducing fatigue and keeping you focused throughout your race.

How do I store my kart racing helmet between races?
Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded helmet bag like our Competition Motorsport Evo Helmet Bag to prevent damage during transport or storage.

What is the difference between Snell K2020 and CMR2016 certifications?

Tear-off visors are beneficial in maintaining clear vision during races by allowing drivers to remove a dirty visor layer quickly. They are especially useful in outdoor karting where debris and dirt are common.

How do I know if my helmet is still safe to use?
